Members of the Blue Ridge Mountain chapter of Trout Unlimited, Carl Riggs, left, and Gary Peterson demonstrate the proper methods of trout fishing to military veterans as part of the Healing Waters program. The twice monthly program includes the right rod, reel and line to use when fishing in trout streams. As part of the program, the veterans learn how to tie a trout fly as well as the different types of flies to use. The program is held at the Veterans Service Center across from Veterans Memorial Park on Old Highway 76 on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month beginning at 9 a.m. The program is free and open to all veterans.
